Laurence E Fosgate Takes Look at New Lake Eola fountain

Downtown Orlando's centerpiece park, Lake Eola, recently got its historic mid-century modern fountain refurbished.  Originally commenced in 1956 to commemorate the centennial of the  city's founding, a lightning strike finally put it out of commission.  The reworked edition keeps all the original design and adds updated computer lighting.  It looks terrific as it sits in the middle of the lake, 55 years after its dedication, and delights onlookers with a color filled display each night. A lake and fountain seem the perfect embodiment of Orlando's setting amidst lush landscapes and hundreds of fresh, spring-fed lakes.
